General Education courses at Yavapai College are grouped into three categories: Foundation Studies, Core Studies, and Area Studies IMPORTANT NOTE: Students may not use the same course to meet both a Core Studies and Area Studies requirement. General Education Courses General Education courses generally require critical reading and thoughtful writing. Students with college-level reading and writing skills have the foundation necessary for success. In some cases a specific degree program may require the student to select particular courses, rather than to select freely from the list of approved General Education courses. The student should follow requirements of their specific degree program to ensure graduation and transfer of credits. Students are encouraged to meet regularly with an academic advisor to build and educational plan. Approved General Education courses are listed below, in their respective categories. A. Foundation Studies 1. College Composition or Applied Communications Requirement. Approved course sequences are listed in each degree program. 2. Numeracy Requirement.
